Try updating your volumes acc=readw after you have checked them in as
privates,  although I only checkin empty volumes that have expired or are as
a result of a offsite storage pool reclaimation

        Subject:        BACKUPSET DELETE PROBLEM

        Hello,

        I have, on TSM 3.7.3, the following jobs :

        - Generate daily backupsets and checkout for offsite storage

        - Deleting the backupsets older than 30days via the following
command :
        del backupset * * enddate=today-30 and calling the tape back on site

        A query backupset shows that it succeeded BUT ...

        A q volhist type=backupset shows that the tape stays allocated

        So, when the tape is back on site, they is no way to run a checkin
with
        a Scratch status as tape is still allocated in volhist. The only
checkin
        which is working is with Private status but the tape is unusable.

        Do somebody know what happens and the way to solve this ?

        Many thanks in advance for your help

        Ruddy
